Stephen Hawking Movie 'Theory of Everything': Film Depicts Physicist's Love Life and Illness [Trailer]
A new movie featuring the life story of prominent physicist Stephen Hawking is expected to hit the cinemas in November of this year with the title "Theory of Everything," according to NPR.
Aside from his famous scientific theories, the film will be showing his love life, proving that love and science do go together. The film will portray how Hawking fell in love with art student Jane Wilde as the two studied in Cambridge in the 1960s. Of course, "Theory of Everything" will also depict how Stephen Hawking displayed his genius despite the diagnosis of a fatal illness he suffered and survived at the age of 21.
The film begins with Hawking as a young student, newly in love and not yet sick, as he embarks on his storied career as a physicist. With the script based on the book by Stephen's first wife, Jane Hawking, the film offers a blend of sweet tones as well as the devastating stage of his life wherein he started to battle with the fatal illness, which was expected to eventually take his life.
Stephen was then just a 21-year-old who was looking for an interesting problem in the field of physics that would challenge his powerful mind in a scientific exploration, while Jane was into literature. Later on as the couple started dating, he also developed speech issues, balance problems and other symptoms that later on turned out to be ALS. He was given two years to live, but the two still pushed on with their relationship, not quitting each other.
Obviously, Stephen Hawking has lived far beyond the predicted time when he would succumb to the illness. It does not mean that they did not believe the diagnosis, but they chose to ignore it. Despite the progression of the disease, Stephen Hawking has been successful in the field he chose as one of the brilliant minds of physics today.
